SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Five Channel Video Installation\n13 Minutes\, 27 Seconds.\n\nDeluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project\, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. It depicts a variety of individual stories\, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage\, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid\, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.\n\nA leading contemporary photographer\, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.\n\nHis on-going project ‘Drowning World\, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.\n\nThe work began in 2007\, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events\, and the shared experiences of those affected.\n\nSince then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008)\, Pakistan (2010)\, Australia (2011)\, Thailand (2011)\, Nigeria (2012)\, Germany (2013)\, The Philippines (2013)\, The UK (2014)\, India (2014)\, Brazil (2015)\, Bangladesh (2015)\, the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).\n\nAs the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.\n\nDrowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits\, Flood Lines\, Watermarks\, and Deluge.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Molly McCulloch
DESCRIPTION:Title: \"Modeling Uncertainties in Delivered Radiation Dose Using Finite Element Models\"\n\nCo-Chair: Prof. Kristy Brock\nCo-Chair: Prof. Martha Matuszak\n\nExternal beam radiation therapy is an effective and widely used focal cancer therapy. However\, due to anatomical changes during radiation therapy\, both in the tumor and in the normal tissue\, the delivered radiation dose can deviate from the planned radiation dose. These responses may compromise the delivery of the most effective treatment and lead to an increased risk of complications in normal tissues. The ability to estimate the delivered radiation to the tumor and normal tissues with high accuracy requires modeling the patient response to dose. Modern medical imaging\, such as computed tomography (CT) and medical resonance imaging (MRI)\, provides a method to evaluate spatial and functional changes of the tumor and normal tissue over the course of radiation therapy. A comprehensive evaluation of these changes requires identification of the tumor and normal tissue\, through image segmentation\, and accurate alignment of images\, through image registration. In the head and neck region\, varying angles of neck flexion\, rapid tumor response and weight loss cause early changes in healthy tissue. In the abdominal region\, motion due to breathing and digestion cause changes in the tumor position and normal structures. When the deviations between delivered and planned dose are great enough\, the radiation treatment plan should be reoptimized\, in order to ensure that the tumor is adequately treated and that the normal tissue is maximally avoided. Estimating the delivered dose to sufficient accuracy is therefore an important requirement for effective adaptive replanning. This dissertation work develops different techniques based on biomechanical models of the anatomical changes to improve estimates of delivered dose\, which can ultimately lead to improvements in treatment adaptation strategies as well as a better understanding of toxicity. A series of experiments based on finite element modeling were conducted to model the uncertainties between planned and delivered dose\, as well as the potential impact of modeling on different organ sites. Abdominal normal tissue complication probability models were developed based on estimated delivered dose and their accuracy compared to traditional models based on planned dose. Following this study\, a predictive model was developed for the head and neck site\, in order to find how early in treatment significant  deviations in planned and delivered dose could be predicted. After seeing the large  potential deviations between planned and delivered dose in the head and neck site a comprehensive study was conducted to model the changes that potentially cause these large deviations. This comprehensive head and neck model was developed in two steps\; first\, the positional changes due to flexion were resolved and second\, the dose response to the parotid glands was modeled using finite element modeling. Each clinical site poses different challenges\, and this dissertation work highlights two areas in which modeling the deviations between planned and delivered dose will improve advanced adaptive radiation therapy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Linocuts by Meredith Stern
DESCRIPTION:On December 10\, 1948\, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document\, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.\n\nMeredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence\, RI\, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative\, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social\, environmental\, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017\, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

SUMMARY:Other:The effect of nucleosome conformation on histone tail binding: implications for chromatin signaling
DESCRIPTION:                                                                        Eukaryotic DNA exists in the cell nucleus via chromatin\, which acts to both compact and regulate the genome. The basic subunit of chromatin is the nucleosome\, which is comprised of a histone protein core\, wrapped by ~147bp of DNA. The N-terminal regions of each of the histones protrude from the wrapped core and are referred to as the histone tails. Histone tails harbor a plethora of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that direct the function of chromatin regulators as they remodel chromatin during development and in response to external factors. Recognition of histone PTMs by these regulatory complexes is mediated through the action of reader sub-domains. The interaction of reader domains with modified histone tails has been extensively studied using peptide fragments of the tails. However\, we have very little knowledge of how these domains associate with the full nucleosome. We are using NMR spectroscopy and complimentary orthogonal techniques to investigate this\, and have found that the conformation of the histone tails in the context of the nucleosome has a dramatic effect on reader domain binding. As a model system\, we are investigating the interaction of the BPTF PHD finger with its known cognate modification\, methylated lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3). Here\, we show that the conformation adopted by the histone H3 tails within the context of the nucleosome is inhibitory to binding of the BPTF PHD finger to H3K4me3\, as compared to histone peptides.  Using NMR spectroscopy and MD simulations\, we find that the H3 tails interact robustly but dynamically with nucleosomal DNA\, and demonstrate that this inhibits PHD finger association. Modifications and mutations of the H3 tail outside the binding region increase the accessibility to PHD finger binding\, indicating that PTM crosstalk can regulate reader domain binding by altering the nucleosome conformation. Together\, our results demonstrate that the nucleosome context has a dramatic impact on signaling events at the histone tails\, and highlights the importance of studying histone binding in the context of the nucleosome.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nCatherine Musselman (University of Iowa)
